  • Ways to tour

    Referring to the form of transit in the different stages, we remember that these are divided into three categories (on foot, by off-road bike or mountain bike and on horseback). However, when we indicate that it can be done on foot, we always refer to 100% of the stage; while, in the case of mountain biking and on horseback, it will depend on temporary restrictions and municipal regulations, so we will have to choose parallel or alternative routes that allow us to transit. We also remember that the use of mountain biking, depending on the stage or trail, can take place by routes on irregular pavements and with high slopes, so they can involve some or a lot of technical difficulty.

    In Antequera, the Natural Park of El Torcal stands out, a karst landscape that was one of the first protected natural spaces in Spain and that is currently one of the most visited natural spaces in Andalusia. Also the Peńa de los Enemorados, a rock shaped like a human profile. Both elements have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage list as part of the Dolmen Site. The municipality of Antequera is one of the largest in Spain, so it houses several natural spaces of interest, such as part of the Sierra de Camarlos, declared a ZEC, which it shares with Villanueva del Rosario, the Guadalhorce reservoir and the Natural Park of the Gaitanes Gorge, which it shares with Álora and Ardales, in which the famous Caminito del Rey is located.

    In the Abdalajís Valley we find the Sierra del Valle de Abdalajís, where the Torcalillo del Charcón, the Chapel peak and the Sierra del Castillo are located. In fact, the Sierra del Valle de Abdalajís is also protected under the figure of SCI (Place of Community Interest).
